For no matter causes (which we are able to conjecture about on the finish), Florida has grow to be #2 within the nation for EV gross sales. California is #1, after all, and has about 5× as many EV registrations as Florida, whereas #3 Texas is only a bit behind Florida. The obvious these are the highest three states for EV registrations is that these are the three most populated states within the nation (although, Florida is third and Texas is second on the subject of inhabitants). Nonetheless, there’s one notable problem with the info used for the chart beneath.
In case you learn the high-quality print there, these registration knowledge are for cumulative registrations by means of the top of 2023. The numbers used listed below are greater than a 12 months old-fashioned. However that’s what we now have.
Additionally be aware that the chart itself makes the states look rather more comparable than they really are. With greater than 1,250,000 registrations, California’s bar must be about 5× larger than Florida’s, nevertheless it seems nearly twice as excessive. It’s a bizarre alternative for knowledge presentation, however the US DOE was clearly making an attempt to make a chart the place you would examine the opposite states and never have their EV registrations appear like little specks in comparison with California’s.
The excellent news is EV gross sales have continued robust within the Sunshine State. “In Central Florida, the variety of electrical automobile registrations rose greater than 15% from November 2023 to November 2024, in response to S&P World Mobility, an automotive knowledge and analytics firm,” The Orlando Sentinel writes. “Greater than 17,000 electrical autos, typically referred to as EVs, have been newly registered in Brevard, Flagler, Lake, Marion, Orange, Osceola, Seminole, Sumter and Volusia counties throughout that interval, the corporate mentioned.” Furthermore, nationwide EV gross sales development was 9.4% in 2024, whereas it was 15.2% in Central Florida.
Sadly, we don’t get numerous state-specific knowledge on EVs and EV gross sales. I’ll go searching extra for higher alternatives for comparability, however be at liberty to share within the feedback when you’ve got any nice sources to share.
